It's very rare I meet someone I can talk well with straight away.
This rings painfully true.....
I'm not normally one to dismiss others; if they are willing to so much as give me the time of day, I'll invite them to hang out again.
That way if there's any inclination on their part, a friendship can potentially develop. But sometimes it fizzles out regardless. It's always been trial and error for me.....
I'm not trying to tell anyone how to approach things, I'm just blathering about my own experiences..... I empathize with the lack of natural conversational flow, even with people I deeply appreciate.
